Choice City is one of my favorite restaurants in Fort Collins, and the beer list is a big reason why.
Choice has a solid selection of Colorado breweries like WeldWerks, paired with world-class breweries from elsewhere like Russian River and Fremont. They usually have a few "woah" beers at all times.
The lunch menu is pretty typical burgers and sandwiches, with some nice touches like wild game. The dinner menu is better, with the smoked duck sweet potato gnocchi being arguably my favorite meal in FoCo.
I recommend dinner, as the menu really is more interesting and worthwhile.

Excellent visit here. Great tap list and a nice bottle selection. However, the food was the real star. Everything we tried was superb. Thinking about moving to Ft. Collins just to have Choice City nearby. Kidding, but you get my meaning.

This place is great! I went on $1 slider night. Those were amazing. The beer selection is outstanding. Lots of great Colorado beers but other well-known breweries. You order at the counter and pick up your food at the counter, too.

Amazon beer selection with awesome food as well. Are here twice while in Fort Collins. The bison ribeye was the best steak I have ever had. I also had the butchers salad for lunch and that was great as well. The beer selection had something for everyone and was great.

Visited twice. First time was a lovely experience. Nice older counter style service at times, we visited on a Sunday, table service. Our server was attentive, friendly and very personable. Selected had nice locals which was cool. We went back the next day for breakfast and upon standing in line to get a table (11 a.m. on the dot) we were told they were only doing counter service and no longer serving breakfast, even though we made it clear we were interested in breakfast. I would have liked to see the customer service a bit better in that regard, but it's our fault for not getting there and seated in time and I understand the kitchen switches over (I guess). Not a huge deal though. The sandwich was outstanding and we can't wait to go back and hopefully try breakfast!

Eating and having a brew on a weekday afternoon, off time. Still quite busy, always a line. Not super fast service but that seemed to be more of a function of inadequate staffing than a lack of willingness to jam by the employees.
Food was especially good, albeit a bit pricey, but the quality shant be dissed in any way for quality and tasty-ness. Rueben sandwich, awesome, wing-burger, great, tuna and PBJ also damn tasty. Sandwiches are by no means small, nor is there any lack of meat. Everything was quite tasty.
Pretty good selection of beer, both on tap and in the cooler, but the cooler is consume in house only so that kinda limits your actual selection to how much you can consume while you're there.

Choice city is doing it right. The brunch at this place will change your life. The food is some of the best in town and I love the small atmosphere inside. This can lead to a wait from time to time but it normally proves to be worth it. They always have a great selection of beers and just recently they had Plinly the Younger on tap! If you're in Fort Collins and want to find some rare hard to find beers this is the place for you.

If you're visiting FC this is a must-visit spot. A solid beer list and an awesome menu--don't be disappointed that the sides are kinda lame, the burgers, sandwiches, and entrees all stand on their own. Get the Colorado Ruben (half is enough, don't worry) and something dark to drink and you'll be happy.

Always something phenomenal on tap at Choice City. Rares, Whales, and New beers abound. A great place to find something new and maybe run into an old favorite that you just can't find anywhere else. From Pliny the Younger to BA Yeti and Crooked Stave rares, I've seen it all here. It never disappoints.
